Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing cellular relay for an accessory device. A relay device may establish cellular communication with a base station and an accessory device. Establishing communication with the accessory device includes establishing synchronization with the accessory device using a cellular sidelink synchronization channel and a cellular broadcast channel. Establishing communication with the accessory device includes configuring resources for performing communication with the accessory device. Establishing communication with the accessory device includes indicating the resources to the accessory device. The relay device may relay information between the base station and the accessory device using the resources.
